My bathroom tile grout turned a weird pink color overnight

I was regrouting my shower with a pre-mixed white grout from a big box store, following the instructions exactly. After letting it cure for about 12 hours, I came back and the whole area had this light pink tint to it. I think some old rust from the pipes might have seeped into the water I used to clean my tools, and that got into the grout mix. Now I have to scrape it all out and start over. Has anyone else had grout change color because of something in their water?

Ugh, that happened to my white caulk once.

Seriously? It's just caulk, not a car crash. Let it dry and move on with your life.
